An UNRWA teacher told the @nypost that an administrator threatened to cut her tongue and make her wish for death. Why? Because she confronted another teacher for indoctrinating children to hate Jews and support terrorism. UNRWA teachers are teaching violence, hate, and antisemitism. According to the teacher, it's only gotten worse since the war began. She estimates that at least half of the teachers she encounters in Gaza believe violence is necessary to achieve Palestinians' political goals. UNRWA is part of the problem; it can’t be part of the solution.

Hamas's willingness to exploit Gazan civilians knows no bounds. An April 2024 document discovered by IDF troops revealed a Hamas plan to plant explosives in displaced persons camps in Gaza. Why? Because Hamas terrorists were hiding in the camps, and needed to create a smokescreen to flee as IDF troops approached. Hamas hides among Gazan civilians and is willing to kill them to protect its own operatives.

New report: Israel's Shin Bet approved 3,000 Gazan workers to help build "New Rafah" — but Hamas is blocking them from going to areas of Gaza under IDF control. Gazans want a better life: Real homes, jobs, income, education, and freedoms. But Hamas wants to keep oppressing the Palestinian people.

"Honestly, the security situation in the Gaza Strip has gotten completely out of control. All kinds of problems and crimes are taking place, and there is no security authority to bring criminals to justice, pursue murderers, or catch thieves." -Gaza resident "A."

On October 27, Israelis go to the polls for the first time since October 7. And as a Palestinian, I have a few thoughts. I wrote them for @TheFP alongside Michael Oren, Yossi Klein Halevi and others on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's legacy. thefp.com/p/israel-elections…

The war in Gaza ended a year ago. Since then, humanitarian aid has increased, and school has resumed. But Hamas has also used the time to rebuild and reassert control over the half of Gaza the IDF does not control. It has entrenched itself in hospitals, schools, and mosques, and resumed building rockets and digging terror tunnels, preparing for the next round of war with Israel.

On October 7, 2023, the Hamas terrorist organization launched a genocide against Israel. We must never forget.

After the October 7 massacre, Israel and the US tried to get Gazan civilians out of harm's way before launching a ground campaign. US officials were even supposed to meet with Jordanian and Egyptian leaders to discuss a possible plan, according to Brett McGurk (Middle East Advisor to former US President Joe Biden). But when Hamas falsely blamed Israel for the failed terror rocket that hit Gaza's Al-Ahli Hospital, the meetings were canceled, and Gazan civilians were left stuck serving as Hamas's human shields.

Almost three years after the attacks of Oct. 7, it’s important to remember what Yahya Sinwar brought on my people that morning. Hamas intentionally sacrificed the future of every Palestinian in Gaza. Read my latest in @nydailynews: nydailynews.com/2026/10/01/h…

Hasan Piker and his stream mocked freed hostage Maya Regev at UT Austin, where she was also speaking the same night. Maya survived 50 days in Hamas captivity. His chat: "Damn they brought the Hamas captives fr fr."

SJP at @Cornell "unequivocally stands with Jane Doe and all survivors of sexual violence," but invited Hasan "it-doesn't-matter-if-rapes-f***ing-happened-on-October-7" Piker to speak on campus. As usual, Jews apparently don't count.
